The fear of going to the toilet in your boyfriend's flat

Fear? He should fear!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Jeez, no work for too long and then almost too much.
I have two jobs on, both are on regular release-review-update cycle so I can't feasibly do one then switch over. I have set my self the regime of working away until I stumble then switching project to refresh the thinking bits.
The only problem is one project is a VB6 to VB.net conversion/rehash the other is Java. Now if only I could pick up some Fortran or COBOL to go with this I'd be set.

Could be worse....
I got home from offshore on Wednesday, gets into the house to be told by the wife she broke the cold tap in the kitchen. It happened just after I left 2 weeks ago, so she had to struggle on using the cold tap at the other kitchen sink. What a hardship........ 
So after dropping kids off at school today, pops into B&Q, finds a suitable replacement. Heads home, digs out some tools and dives under the sink. Now, these connections haven't been moved since I fitted the kitchen in 1998. Talk about rock solid!
First turn of the spanner, rips a chunk of skin of my thumb.....I might have said a wee sweary... At least its all fixed now. Its also a much better tap than what was there before. I have a feeling she will want a matching tap at the other sink....but will wait and see what she says.

Why? You've waisted a journey there Jimmy! You should have bought two sets, fitted one, waited for the "Och! That's nice!" then fitted t'other for the double chocolate brownie points [what DBC would nick anyway] that go with the wife awarded attaboy.

Not at £150!
The other sink is just a utility sink, and is usually buried in kids clothes. It is fine the way it is!

I shall never forget taking my dear lovely wife into the DIY store to get a washer for a leaking tap. £1,500 and a new bathroom later we walked out...

Good luck on waiting.

Have you ever been having a clean out and stumbled across something you have written down and wondered what the hell it was for or what you were up to at that time?
Today, I was having a clear out of an old metal filing box.
In it, I came across old some old part numbers for fire and gas system components, old passwords for various work systems, some old notebooks.
The notebooks were empty, apart from one, and all it had in it I had written was;
cd /usr/include
rm -rf linux
rm -rf asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm_i386 asm
cd /usr/src/linux
make proper
Haven't got a clue what it was for........

Yeah, well that was the NHS version, if she'd gone private she may have got Shakespeare or something. Perhaps there's a tariff linked to Amazon's reviewing system.

She'll also hear comments about how awful plaid pants look on anyone.
